hello list I'm preparing to do a sound project in china where I hope to broadcast an mp3 stream using Icecast2. I've set up test system (outside China) and it seems to be working happily (using Pd to generate audio and the extension "shoutcast~" to stream to the icecast server). I've asked a few people in china to tune into these broadcasts and have run into problems. Elsewhere in the world people can connect. Firstly, it seems dynamic domain names, such as *.dyndns.org, are blocked in china. To get around that I sent an IP address instead. A url like: http://ipaddress:7000/streamname.m3u They could connect with this and were registered in the access log, but their connections dropped almost instantly. Does anyone have experience or knowledge about streaming into China or within it? Anything I can try? I've also run icecast on port 8000 with the same results. cheers, Iain
I can't answer your question, but it may be worth trying port 80 if you are not running a web server on this IP. It's possible that some sort of port blocking or speed restrictions are in force on non-standard ports.

Tried with http://zhongshuobeijing.dyndns.org:7000/streamname.m3u but was blocked. And at last resolve: http://139.168.32.224:7000/streamname.m3u is that what you mean? no, perhaps you mean the localhost? "bicho" is its name. Pardon me if i'm confused on this. Will also, tomorrow, try your suggestion of port 443 and Ross' suggestion of the web port. cheers, iain On Wed, 2005-05-11 at 07:43 +0100, gARetH baBB wrote:> On Wed, 11 May 2005, Iain Mott wrote: > > > china.
